## About Peter Kuhfeld

Peter Kuhfeld, born in 1952 in Cheltenham, is a British figurative painter and teacher whose documented practice encompasses painting, drawing, portraiture, figures, interiors, and landscape. He studied at Leicester Polytechnic before attending the Royal Academy Schools under Peter Greenham. Early recognition included prizes for landscape, drawing, and anatomical drawing, as well as scholarships that supported his development. Kuhfeld began exhibiting in Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions in 1978 and later presented solo shows with galleries including New Grafton, Agnew, W. H. Patterson, Brian Sinfield, and Petley Fine Art. His professional associations include RP, NEAC, and the New Grafton Gallery's Portrait Centre. Art UK also records paintings produced after he accompanied the Prince of Wales on visits to Africa and Japan; a selection was exhibited at Agnew in 1991. Collectors are most likely to encounter Kuhfeld through observational figurative paintings, portraits, drawings, and related works on paper.

## Common works and media

The source pack most clearly supports paintings and drawings, particularly portraits, figure studies, domestic interiors, and landscapes. Authority records identify named portrait subjects and an interior scene, while Art UK documents Kuhfeld's connection with portrait exhibitions, landscape recognition, and anatomical drawing. Paintings arising from travel in Africa and Japan form another documented context. Although the current Appraisily category summary includes works on paper and prints, the collected evidence does not establish editioned prints, sculpture, ceramics, or mixed-media objects as characteristic parts of Kuhfeld's output; such objects require individual attribution and catalogue research.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction evidence for Peter Kuhfeld is presently limited and internally inconsistent, with the collected Appraisily page referring to both two tracked lots and three priced records. Artist-level averages should therefore be treated cautiously. A useful appraisal should compare the object with works sharing its medium, dimensions, date, subject, and degree of finish. Condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect comparability. Portraits, interiors, landscapes, and works connected with documented exhibitions or travel contexts should be assessed against the closest available public sales rather than against a broad category median. Private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may leave important evidence outside the dataset.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Limited or conflicting record coverage is identified rather than treated as a complete market history.
